17
A Shift Toward Store Ownership
18
The business model became expensive and complicated. — The tune-up went away. — We had to expand services. The franchisor almost failed twice during that time. — Joe Grimaud salvaged it from 1991 – 1995. — Lou Brown and Robert Falconi salvaged it in 2000. Franchise leads have dropped off. — But we still have contracts to develop! Why the Shift Over 25 Years?
19
We sell only service. — It’s not about a product or secret recipe. — It’s less about the comfort of the visit. — There’s a big do-it-yourself market. We’re like the dentist. — And the franchisee is the dentist. Therein lies the challenge. How Do You Grow Auto Service Units?
